Build week for new Cupra 290's

[dieselface]

Take the figures on Howmanyleft with a pinch of salt. I was on another forum where a guy who worked for the DVLA checked the number of certain models on their system against what people were reporting from Howmanyleft and the figures were well off.

There's a fair few 290s registered as 280 too from the data I've seen.

I placed an order for one on back end of last week and have been given December as a delivery time...this was for a 5dr Cupra Black DSG with some factory options.

I ordered about 4 weeks ago and I got an email today for delivery end of October, 5d door 290 black edition

December seems quite a while for a July order, was that direct with a dealer or through a lease company?

 

[Clifftoff]

I ordered mine direct with a Seat garage fleet service; I am hoping to hear back this week and maybe will be given some better news. I am in no rush as I still have my current car but if I was, then I wouldn't be too impressed!

When I ordered a 290 SC I was quoted 27 weeks but 15 weeks for a BE. Ordered a month ago and got build week 38.

Got to sell my car now. S2000 anyone?

It's just about been a week since I paid deposit for my cupra black, December is a fair old wait! Ugh!

I ordered a 290 SC Black Edition on 23rd July and just been informed of a build slot for week 40, expected delivery for end of October/early November.

I'll swap my build week 39 slot for for anyone with one scheduled for build/delivery in December if they want. I'm in no great rush for the car. (that's a joke by the way. But if it was at all possible then i'd do it

I wonder if the VW supply issues that are currently affecting the Golf will affect production of the Cupra. It seems to be a dispute with suppliers of parts for seats and gearboxes has caused production to cease this week.

Mine has moved forward to week 37, you may want to check if you don't want yours quickly

Still havent heard a peep out of CVL for my build week after ordering 6 weeks ago - definitely not impressed with their services so far and wishing id gone to a dealer.

I went to a dealer mate and had nothing, all my information has come directly from Seat CS, you just need the order number

I was originally estimated an 8-12 week delivery time when I placed my order on 23rd July which would be end of September/early October (290 SC Black Edition).

Dealer told me a few days ago of a delay (did not specify) and the build slot is now week 40. The dealer has now said it will be another 6 weeks after that until delivery. That puts it in mid November.

A bit disappointed. Anyone else experiencing this?

Had no week number or date yet from my dealer and I ordered in first week of August..... Though I'm not rushing..... Checked in with him last week and he mentioned the shutdown for a fortnight (or whatever it was) was delaying things...... I'll check back when I have a build week.

Haven't they stopped building the SC till the f/l appears?

 

[Scorchio69]

I placed a order for a 290 ST black edition manual from lookers seat in Manchester but due to the factory holidays I won't get a estimated build till their back , not looking too hopeful for the end of October by everyone else's build slots . Can't wait to get it too see how it stacks up against the S3 saloon we sold last year

How does it take 6 weeks from build to the dealer?! That's crazy

I spoke to the dealer again today. Apparently 6 weeks is worst case scenario, so hopefully it won't take that long.

 

[Jarre]

I was thinking about 2 weeks would be acceptable.

My cupra is build week 39 - I put a deposit down on one that my dealer had already ordered since it was the spec I wanted. Was hoping for a mid October delivery.

Compound, transport to dock, await shipping, day or 2 on the boat, dock/customers clearance at UK, transport to dealer, dealer PDI. All that can easily take 6 weeks and 3 weeks at the very, very least I would think.

If you are distance buying you'll also find the dealers will do the 2 week cooling off period before they deliver the car. It seems a bit sneaky to me but I've always found that cars take at least 2 weeks after signing and returning the final paperwork. As I'm in no rush I plan on making that work for me this time. "Oh, I never received the paperwork".... "Did that not arrive, bugger! It must have got lost in the post, I'll send it again"
